Everyone is talking about Carema Care – but what really happened?
November 2011Media storm. 45 news
articles daily
May 2012A completely new image
appears. DN’s reporting is the focus

Why the massive media attention?
A
PRIVATE EQUITY OWNED, TAX FINANCED, ELDERLY CARE BUSINESS
perceived as
AVOIDING TAXES
while simultaneously
PAY OUT BONUSES BASED ON FINANCIAL RESULTS
is accused for
LACKING IN QUALITY OF CARE
Private alternatives in public sector still controversial
Exposed users that are seen as powerless
Variable salary is an issue that engage
A breadth of interesting players: unknown investors and owners, national politicians sensitive to the debate, local politicians responsible for tenders and ultimately for quality, and 7 500 caretakers across the country

PHASE 1: Carema Care discover deviations and takes action in Spring 2011

• Errors are corrected and the quality work is strengthened

9Confidential Triton
PHASE 2: The scrutiny starts and escalates in Autumn 2011
Media scrutiny and actions
Challenges
The public’s strong empathy for the residents- everyone has a grandmother or grandfather
Private Equity is perceived as short-term and profit maximizing
There were some quality deviations, but many of the reported incidents were investigated and proven untrue. Media on the other hand were uninterested in these aspects which made it a tough challenge
Media focused on a contradiction between good care and the possibility to make a profit. To explain the links between care quality and long-term return is hard when media has more exciting news to tell and no reason to help you.
The owners go out in a joint ad declaring the conversion of Share Holder Loans to Equity- Nov 9
A forceful outreach by Carema management correct the public opinion On weighing diapers- Dec 22
Carema Care’s President reveal the cancelation of all bonuses on live TV – Nov 10

PHASE 4: Media’s scrutiny is reviewed in Spring 2012
Media’s scrutiny is reviewed
• Carema Care initiates an external review of the media’s handling of sources, among other things. Results of the report spreads; leading daily Expressen concludes that Dagens Nyheter (daily leading the scrutiny) has done wrong in several aspects of its review
• Weekly newspaper Dagens Samhälle go back to the sources and find more factual mistakes and that Dagens Nyheter did not portray a balanced picture of what actually happened
• The review spread to other leading media, including dailies Svenska Dagbladet and Sydsvenskan
